Recycling other networks' old lineups

Hey CW, we're talking to you! We'll admit it was cool to see Shannen Doherty and Jennie Garth back together again like it's 1991, but "90210" 2.0 had a tough time juggling between old favorites and the new set of West Beverly teens. Now with the new "Melrose Place" trying to out-camp its predecessor with a murder mystery and a medical student-turned-prostitute, among other plots, we have to ask: what was wrong with leaving the originals be on DVD? And don't even think about redoing"21 Jump Street."
